2. Splashes of Turquoise & Coral

Turquoise and coral are our favorite beach house-ready colors, but you can apply this concept to any color you find to be tropical and summery. We can’t get enough of the fabulous headboard below accented by the grasscloth ceiling!

4. Try Louvered Doors or Shutters

When you are looking to achieve a coastal feel in your home, it is important to pay attention to the architectural details. A quick way to add a touch of beachside architecture is to add a louvered doorway or louvered shutters. This can be done quite easily on a tight budget or in a time crunch. Try adding a louvered room divider as seen below!
